With its steel structure and faux leather seat, this metal folding chair presents a contemporary, clean, and functional look. Sourced second-hand, this chair folds easily and fits well around a table or in a corner of an office, complementing an interior without cluttering it. Its simple design allows it to be paired with a wooden table, mismatched seating, or more industrial furniture, whether in a kitchen or a workspace. Unfolded for an impromptu meal and then folded away after use, it readily accommodates a notebook and a cup placed on a nearby side table. Width: 42 cm Depth: 33 cm Height: 77 cm Seat height: 42 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backed seat was a rare privilege, reserved for the one leading the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front]. For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and strength, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
